    “Hey, there hunka’-hunka’, wanna go somewhere more private so I can show you my Ancient Greeks?😏😏”

    Full disclaimer, I’m a barely-social straight guy, I wouldn’t know flirting if it cracked my teeth with a piece of wood.

      I’m married and straight.

      It doesn’t get better.

      You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.

  Could have been a compliment. You are not an intellectual yet, but you wanna educate yourself. Nothing wrong with that.

      Incidentally, best way to deal with Epicureans! Smile awkwardly and exeunt whenever possible!

  How could I judge if Plato is relevant or not without reading it?

  • xia@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Sounds like a philosophical question.

    learning about Plato from what books he wrote. is like learning about the world from watching shadows within a cave

  If I were in that situation, I think an acceptable retort would be to hold up the drumstick of chicken I am munching on, and dramatically say ‘Behold, a man!’ then take a bite and totally ignore the random infatnilizing philosohy try hard as I go back to reading.

  Maybe also, after a 30 to 60 second pause, nonchalantly ask if he happens to have any hemlock sauce, just to try to get a rise out of him.
